Images used - important licensing information
We've taken care of the licensing for the royalty-free
photographs used in this template. Please note that you
aren't allowed to take an image from this template and use
it for other purposes. If you wish to purchase your own
license for the version to get the larger image or to use
the image in other marketing material, please go to the
following sources:
- House image - office.microsoft.com - Image j0395804.jpg
Editing the include pages
There are several include pages used in this template
for your editing convenience. By opening include pages,
you can make edits, save, and FrontPage will automatically
update all the pages in your web site.
Include pages are used for:
- Logo area: includes/logo.htm
- Copyright area: includes/copyright.htm
Logo area
To add your logo, open the includes/logo.htm page to
make edits to the logo area. The included logo is an image
which you may delete and replace with your own logo image.
The Photoshop file has been included. (yourlogohere.psd)
Adding New Pages to Your Web/Link bars
Open a page that has the layout the way you want it,
then go to File/Save As. Save the page under a new name
- be sure to change the page title as well! Then, go to
Navigation View and drag your new page into the navigation
structure.
Deleting Pages from Your Web
Right-click on the pages you wish to delete in your Folder
List, in Folder View, or in Navigation View, then select
"Delete."
Renaming Pages / Changing Page Title
If you would like to use an existing page but want to
rename it, you may easily do this in Navigation View. Right-click
on the page title and choose "Rename" to rename your file.
This will also change the Page Title on the pages. You will
then want to change the file name (ends in ".htm") to a
similar name as your page title, without spaces or special
characters.
Changing Layout
We have formatted the tables so that this page will look
good and resize in Netscape and Internet Explorer. If you
wish to change the layout, please follow these instructions.
About this page layout
This page has been very carefully formatted with different
nesting tables so that it resizes both vertically and horizontally.
Do not drag on any table lines - you may "freeze"
the page so that it no longer resizes properly.
Adding other columns to the page
We suggest that you do not directly add columns to this
layout, as you may accidentally "freeze" the page so that
it no longer resizes. Instead, delete the page template
content, then go to Table/Insert/Table to add your own table
in the center area. You may click within a table and go
to Table > Select > Table to get a better idea of the table
structure of this page.
Home Page "Features" Image
The "features" image may be replaced with one of the
provided images:
splash-blank.jpg / splash-events.jpg / splash-highlights.jpg
/ splash-news.jpg
Changing Colors or Images
To change most colors, you may modify the cascading style
sheet. See "CSS Crash Course" for
more information.
Please be aware that to change the house image may involve
having to change the top row color. Changing the top row
color (within the CSS) will then also require you to have
an image editor to change the rounded corner color (or to
get rid of the rounded corner effect altogether).
FrontPage 2000
If you're using FrontPage 2000, the link bars with vertical
lines separating the text links will look like [Xxxxx] [Xxxxx]
[Xxxxx]. You may either choose to use the default text style
navigation bars, or edit the "includes/menu.htm" and "includes/copyright.htm"
and manually type out links.
